15+15 webinar: Thou Shall Not Pass! Routing Through the Red Sea in 2024

The last three months have seen a substantial volume of queries in relation to the pros and cons of transiting via the Gulf of Aden versus the Cape. In this episode of 15+15, Alex Kemp and Simon Maxwell , experts in war risks from HFW will briefly discuss the latest in the Red Sea, the level of the threat posed and the factors to be taken into account when deciding when to proceed and when to re-route. The main take-aways from the presentation will be: The decision of whether to re-route requires a nuanced review of the interplay between the contractual matrix and the current threat level (which is informed by a multitude of sources).
